Stumped

One Cricket Umpire, Two Countries. A Memoir

By: Richard Harrison

Narrated by: Richard Harrison

Sixteen seasons in the sun—mostly.

A cricket-mad Australian is living in England when he makes a decision that will change his life. He becomes an umpire.

In this sparkling new memoir we journey from Sunday village friendlies in Kent and the county championship, to the hallowed turf of the MCG and some of the world's best female cricketers.

Discover the hidden secrets of Law 44, the notorious Julie Bishop Award, and why no one is ever really out LBW.

Engaging and funny throughout, Stumped is a delicious treat that will delight anyone who has ever enjoyed a game of cricket.

“It’s the kind of book to have by your side, ready for a wet weekend, when you still need your cricket fix.” (crickether.com)

Great cricket story.

Richards soft mellow tones are a wonderful introduction to an ordinary man's story which could be from any Australian who has spent some time in the UK.
A chance reading of an advertisement had introduced cricket umpiring and which has been the nexus of a significant and unforgettable experience.
How great is that?
Richard relaxed and humorous style encapsulates an entertaining and vivid set of images to these wonderful cricket grounds set in the shadows of equally fascinating local pubs and their beers.
a great read and listen.
